email form seems to be missing some files..

[sergio_101]

hi, guys!

i just set up an email form, and there seems to be a problem with the
code that it generates..

include_once("wff_misc.php");

--> this was fixed.. if you add "../objects/" to the front of the
file, it will reference the correct file.

include_once("../objects/class.phpmailer.php");

--> this is where i have a problem. this file isn't included in the
zip file that is generated..

is there anyone who can send me a copy of this file so i can get this
thing uploaded and tested?

thanks!

Sorry to hear it's missing some files:

you can probably download phpmailer directly here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26031

I will try to take a look why those files are not included in the
package in the first place. Should be fixed within 24hrs.

regards

Yep - This exact scenario happened to me as well. Plus - it doesn't
seem to work well when using a more complex html page (using
dreamweaver templates, etc). So I created the most basic form,
similar to the tutorial - and used email instead of database (I
thought that would make it easier,...) and it still doesn't work.
Like you said - you have to manually change where it looks for that
wff_misc.php file (it puts it in the objects folder, but then doesn't
look for it there??) so once you do that - it then looks for that
phpmailer.php (which is another email program. I have it, but I was
hoping this website avoided the need to get that email
program.......) Oh well, hopefully this will get fixed.

Even after putting that phpmailer file on the webserver, it still
doesn't work...

Now it says: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting
T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/[webserver]/html/
test/form/objects/class.phpmailer.php on line 45

yeah.. i tried to use it in a dynamic site, but without really
spending a bunch of time on it..

but i ended up having to have the site generate a blank page..
building the form on that page..

then make a form out of that..

one suggestion i would have would be to let the user submit a file like:

<form>
form contents...
</form>

without requiring a fully formed page....

that way, you can include your form using a php include in the middle
of a dynamically generated page..

hmmm...

did you inlude ONLY the class.phpmailer.php file? is there any chance
it got edited before you uploaded it?

i just checked my file.. and line 45 is a blank line following this:

/**
* Email priority (1 = High, 3 = Normal, 5 = low).
* @var int
*/
var $Priority = 3;

it's just a bunch of variable declarations for the 250 or so lines....

if you want, i can send you my copy of the file..
